The five-goal outburst comes after he scored twice and fired six shots on goal in a loss to the Flames on Wednesday. The youngster is red-hot right now, having found the back of the net 11 times in the last four games after a modest three-game goal drought.

He’s been excellent against the Blues in his career, scoring seven times in 11 games in St. Louis.

With those five-goals, Laine now leads the NHL with 19 goals on the season. He’s the 14th different player in NHL history and sixth in the League’s modern era (1943-44) to score at least three hat tricks through his team’s opening 22 games of a season.

It was also a memorable night for Christopher Haley. According to TSN’s Frank Seravalli, Laine’s five goals have won Haley $1 million in the Safeway/Sobeys Score and Win contest. He’ll get $50,000 per year for 20 years.

Christopher Haley of Winnipeg you could win a million dollars if any Jets player scores 5 goals today against the St. Louis Blues#GoJetsGoGood luck!
